Tracy Bonin Art

My work is about pure, emotional painting. It is a convergence of color, shape, stroke and line. I do not analyze or plan ahead. I construct and deconstruct until I unravel an abstract moment. I paint, draw, scribble and scratch, adding layer upon layer. Allowing paint to be paint and marveling at happy accidents. I don't usually transfer image or object to canvas. I am not interested in borrowing given imagery. Rather, I am interested in allowing something to happen, something that had not been happening before, that did not already exist. The work is intuitively formed, through emotion and always the music I listen to while I paint.

"For me, painting is like life. Full of ups and downs, rewarding and sometimes disappointing. But, always an adventure and sometimes people like me and sometimes they don't. And I am okay with that."
